Everyone's mods
I figure, I do enough retrofitting of parts, and enough weird shit to my car, that ther have to be other that do to. List up your mods, why it was a good mod or not, and how expensive it was to do.
Me first! 93 del sol S KYB AGX shocks for a 3rd gen teg. cost $325 on sale Greatest mod I've done WeaponR coilovers for 5th gen civic $100 used work great with the kyb's, sucked on stock shocks and tokico blues Rota Grid rims with Kuhmo 712 tires. Package was 700 shipped to my door. Tires aren't the best I've had, but DAMN good. Rims are light, and look great. Integra brakes, waiting to put on, cost $100 for everything I needed for the front at a junkyard. I'll let you know how they are once I get em on. Tails, painted all red. I smoked them at one time, and the clear coat ate smoking paint, so they looked like ass.... sanded back to all red. Cost $5, look great now All white interior. Sucks for a daily driver, looked good for 3 months... d16z6 engine/tranny As an upgrade for an S model, it's awesome. Total cost $350. ACT stage 2 clutch. Got it from a buddy that ****ed his engine after having the clutch in for 2 days. $120 cause he needed money. Best clutch I've used to date. B16a throttle body. $35 Throttle response is better, but not having a cold idle valve, I had to make my own gasket, and it idles around 1200 when cold. Bolted right up to the d16z6 intake manifold. Autometer A/F gauge.... LAME! Given to me used. It's worthless without a wideband O2... Looks Neato! PSone with screen in glovebox. Total cost $150. Lame ass mod. I think it was turned on 4 times in the year I had it in. Who plays video games in their car??? DC 4-2-1 1 piece header $100 used. Looking back on it, they are probably stolen, but who knows... Added a little top end, took away a little low end... WeaponR intake. Sounds neat. 2hp on old butt dyno! :thumbup: Got it in a trade... Tokico blues. Went through 3 sets in the rear, and they kept blowing... Weird.... Not worth the time of replacing! Now it's your turn! I know I have more, but this is a good start! |

you guys are missing the point! You have to say if it is a worth while mod! Cost plays into a lot of people's minds too! Was hoping to get this to be a "learn from my mistakes" list of parts!

I had a super long list of everything, prices and if I regreted it or not. Pisses me off that it decides to fuq up then :mad:
Blue 93 Si In order of purchase date (trying to anyways) Front and rear alluminum strut bars, generic brand Price: $50 each. It's okay if you don't have money, but if you plan to get bette ones later, it's a waste. Get good ones from the start that actually work. These have pivoting ends that, I'm sure, allow too much movement to work properly. Pioneer DEH P430. I think it's the 430, but may be the 330. Price: $300 installed. I love this CD player!!! This is my third Pioneer stereo. Two were stollen. That's how much I love it. There's so many adjustments you can do it's amazing. You can even power subs with it and it's decent if you can't afford a sub amp. Only regret is I could've had a better model for the same price at a different store. The one with the screen saver. 6.5 Polk Speakers Price: $150 for 4. On sale from $200. They are good speakers, but need an amp to sound good and they can handle a decent amount of power. I'm never satisfied with stereo equipment though so someday I'm going to upgrade to Boston Acoustics. Those speaker are awesome! I've had those in the past with no amp and I loved them. Good midrange for a 6.5". Energy Suspension shifter bushings Price: $15 LOVE THEM. Made shifting so much nicer. I don't know how to describe them...it just feels so precise. It's a bitch to install, but well worth it. You just have to smash them in and try to get them to stay in while you bolt it back up. Only took maybe 30 min to install. 16" Enkei RPO2's w/Dunlop SP sport W10's Price: about $1200 installed with warrantee. Tires were maybe $110 each? I originaly bought these for my sisters G20, but replacement tires were too espensive for her so she gave them back. Perfect offset too! Tires are great, but I have no other reference. Wheels looked good for a while, but after a year or so, it started to look like crap. My sister blew a tire in the front on the freeway from hitting something and she didn't lose control. Then she did it again on the FRONT and didn't lose control. Both tires were replaced for FREE under warrantee from America's Tire Company. Slatertake Price: $70? Looks homemade. I should've took more time to make it look nice, but I wanted to finish it so bad. Sound is great and throttle response is improved as well as top end. Magnaflow exhaust A'pexi VTEC controller Price: $300 Look on people face when they see it Priceless. They always aske me what it is. Installed myself and it was easy. Really cool cause I love electronics. I don't regret getting it, but it is pricey. I have it set up for better gas mileage. Doesn't do anything for a stock N/A engine. Price: $100 installed Looks ugly cause it's round instead of oval. Sound is awesome. Not loud at all until you floor it. It's on my sisters Teg right now cause I wanted to go back to totaly silent stock. I'll get an exhaust someday, but I want a premade one like Apex or Greddy. Painted wheels Price $5 per can of paint. Maybe 5-6 cans. SOOOO not worth it. Looked good for a few days but started to look like crap after that. I first tried to clear cote it but it ate away at the paint so I had to paint it all over again. Waste of money and looooots of time. Painted instrument cluster bezel. Price: Leftover alluminum paint. Looks ok, but under close inspection, looks homemade. You wouldn't believe how much it brightens up that area though. I put a stock one back it and it looked too plane, so I switched again. Save your money and get a real alluminum one off of ebay that doesn't have dust stuck to the paint like mine does. 4 chanel Alpine Amp Price: $350 installed Great amp, works well with my speakers. I can't remember the wattage though. Maybe 40 by 4? Tokico full coiover suspension. $750 Installed myself. Don't regret it. Love it. Ride is so nice and smooth. I'd say it's close to stock on level 2 front, 1 rear. Progressive spring rates front and back make it ride so nice, but turn up the notch a few clicks and steering response is amazing. I've had Skunk 2's and illuminas on my other car and it was way too harsh. I swear I was an inch taller before that suspension set-up :D . Tinted windows Price: $35-$45 Removed all windows and did it myself. Looks great at 20% all around but wish back was a little darker. I thought 20% would be darker than this, but it's still really easy to see inside the car. I would use higher quality tint next time. This one seems to scratch too easily. Front corner windows were a BITCH to get it to stick cause it's plastic and curved so much. Back window is flawless and looks profesional since the glass is flat. there may be more, but I can't think of it right now. |
Things I forgot:
2000 civic Si strut bar $10 from a guy that I was buying an engine from. Noticed a small different, but on an S (no front sway bar) it can't be the much of an improvement. 5% tint cost 30 bucks Did it myself the same way Motochip did. Took an afternoon to take out all the glass and get it back in. It was well worth it, until I got a fix it ticket for being WAY darker than legal. |
